    They should be called terrorists.

    Stein’s campaign also paid $100,000 to a consulting firm, Accelevate, that has worked with Republican campaigns for signature-gathering services.

    This is now the bar for “terrorism”?

      Um, what? I’m commenting on the corporate media’s insistence on calling the insurrectionists “rioters”. I think even the term insurrectionist is a bit of a euphemism.

        Oh, that. I mean, that was a riot in a very classic sense. To call it an insurrection feels romantic, relative to what amounted to a massive adult baby temper tantrum that left a handful of people dead. Insurrections tend to have stronger leadership and more strategy.

          That is a shockingly harsh sick burn. Holy shit.

          Edit: still love it. Can’t stop thinking about how well this casually and truthfully states it.
